An inverse scattering problem for the Klein-Gordon equation with a classical source in quantum field theory

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

An inverse scattering problem for a quantized scalar field ϕ{\bm ϕ} obeying a linear Klein-Gordon equation $(\square + m^2 + V) {\bm ϕ} = J \mbox{in $\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^3$}$ is considered, where VV is a repulsive external potential and JJ an external source JJ. We prove that the scattering operator S=S(V,J)\mathscr{S}= \mathscr{S}(V,J) associated with ϕ{\bm ϕ} uniquely determines VV. Assuming that JJ is of the form J(t,x)=j(t)ρ(x)J(t,x)=j(t)ρ(x), (t,x)∈R×R3(t,x) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^3, we represent ρρ (resp. jj) in terms of jj (resp. ρρ) and S\mathscr{S}.
